A crowd of Reedies always makes for a lively question-and-answer period. This photo is from the November Rainier panel discussion.

In October we held a career workshop in conjunction with career services, featuring a talk by Don Asher '83 on fast track career development. A panel of local alumni discussed hot careers in Seattle, followed by plenty of time for networking.

The chapter held a November panel discussion on "Politics and the Media: Who Controls the Message?" Panelists were Jim Compton '64, Seattle correspondent for the News Hour with Jim Lehrer;Sue Tupper '80, public affairs and political consultant; Tye Ferrell '87, legislative assistant to Seattle City Council member Richard Conlin; and Robert Smith '89, news reporter for KUOW and National Public Radio. Peter Steinberger, Reed College dean of the faculty and Ellis Professor of Political Science, was moderator. More than 80 people attended, making it the biggest gathering of local alumni (at least in recent history).
